NURSING-BOTTLE HOLDER FOR BABY-CARRIAGES.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 712,184, dated. October 28, 1902.

' Application filed March 27, 1902.` Serial No. 100,172. (No model.) I

To all whom, it tay concern:

Be it known that I, LOUIS O. FELD, a citi- Zen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and-useful Improvements in Nursing-Bottle Holders for Baby-Carriages, of which the following is a full and complete specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertai'ns to make and use the same.

The object of this invention is to provide an improved device for connecting a nursingbottle with a baby-carriage and for holding the same in proper position for use; and with this and other objects in view the invention consists in a device or devices of the class specified constructed as hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specication, of which the accompanying drawings form a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by the same reference characters in each of the views, and in which- Figure l is a perspective view of a babycarriage provided with myimprovement, and Fig. 2 a perspective view of the operative parts of the device which I employ on an enlarged scale.

In the drawingsforming part of this specication I have shown an ordinary baby-carriage, the body a of which is provided with side portions a2, which are preferably in the form of rollsy or scrolls, and the front or dashboard portion of which is also preferably provided with a similar roll or scroll c3; but the baby-carriageand the body portion thereof may be of any preferred form and construction.

In the practice of my invention I provide a device or devices of the class specified comprising two upright spring-arm portions l),

p which in the form of construction shown are plemental arms b3, and said side arms may be composed of a single wire, as shown in Fig. 1, or of double wires, as shown in Fig. 2, and connected with'the lower ends of the supplemental arms b3 is a cross-head d, and the supplemental arms b3 are passed through said cross-head and held therein by set-screws d2 or in any other desired manner.

The front spring-arm c is provided with a supplemental member 2C, which is rigidly connected at one end with a block e, through which the main part c of said arm passes, and the main part c of said supplemental arm is provided at its rear end with a loop or ring c3, through which the supplemental part 2c loosely passes, and the supplemental part 2 of said arm is rigidly secured to the crosshead d.

The bottle-holder proper comprises au oblong or elliptical loop-shaped portion f, with the bottom portion ofwhich is connected au arm g, which is free to turn thereon at g2, and this arm is loosely connected at g3 with a ring g4, with the upper side of which is loosely connected an arm g5, composed of two parts, which are bent around the top portion of the member f at g6 and carried backwardly and formed into a loop Q7, through which the main part of the arm g5 passes, and rigidly counected with the loop-shaped or elliptical member f, centrally of the top portion thereof, is a rod or other device 72 which passes upwardly through the cross-head d and may be vertically adjusted therein by means of a setscrew or similar device h2.

The elliptical or loop-shaped portion or memberf of the bottle-holder is designed to receive or hold the body portion of the bottle, as shown in Fig. l, while the ring or supv plemental part g4 is designed to receive and hold the neck of the bottle, and in Fig.' l of the drawings I have shown a bottle thus supported, and the form and dimensions of the various parts of the device and the adjustable features thereof are such that the bottle may be suspended in proper relative position for use at all times.

The supplemental part g4 of the bottleholder and the parts connected therewith are adapted to be folded upwardly, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, and the entire device may be detached from the body of the baby- IOO carriage and connected therewith whenever desired, and by means of the construction of the forwardly-directed spring-arm c and the supplemental part 2 thereof the latter may be adjusted longitudinally, while the construction of the members b3 and the crosshead d and the connections thereof are such that said members will turn in said crosshead and may be disconnected therefrom whenever desired, and the entire device may -be thus compactly folded together or the parts thereof may be separated and corfipactl y stored Whenever desired.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, i s

In a device of the class described, a loopshaped or elliptical member, a ring supported in front thereof and adapted to connect therewith so as to swing vertically, an upwardlydirected member connected with the loopshaped or elliptical member, a support with which said upwardly-directed member is adjustably connected, and means for connecting said support with the body of the babycarriage, and holding the same thereover, consisting of spring side arms adapted to engage the sides of the body of the carriage, and a forwardly-directed springarm, adapted to engage the front of the body of the carriage, the latter arm being composed of two parts, one of which is adjustable upon the other, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name, in presence of the subscribing witnesses, this 24th day of March, 1902.

LOUIS C. FELD.
